Shortly after the Celtics won the NBA championship in June, we posted the NBA Finals Odds. Now that the off-season moves have been made, we thought it would be a good time to take another look at the NBA Championship Odds and see what Vegas was thinking about this upcoming season. Here’s a chart showing what each team opened at and what their current odds are:
| Team | Open | Current |
| Los Angeles Lakers | 5/2 | 3/1 |
| Boston Celtics | 7/2 | 7/2 |
| New Orleans Hornets | 7/1 | 6/1 |
| Detroit Pistons | 7/1 | 7/1 |
| Cleveland Cavaliers | 15/1 | 8/1 |
| Houston Rockets | 15/1 | 8/1 |
| San Antonio Spurs | 7/1 | 8/1 |
| Utah Jazz | 12/1 | 10/1 |
| Phoenix Suns | 10/1 | 10/1 |
| Orlando Magic | 15/1 | 15/1 |
| Philadelphia 76ers | 40/1 | 20/1 |
| Toronto Raptors | 25/1 | 20/1 |
| Dallas Mavericks | 15/1 | 20/1 |
| Denver Nuggets | 22/1 | 30/1 |
| Chicago Bulls | 40/1 | 30/1 |
| Portland Trail Blazers | 50/1 | 35/1 |
| Washington Wizards | 30/1 | 40/1 |
| Golden State Warriors | 30/1 | 45/1 |
| Indiana Pacers | 50/1 | 50/1 |
| Los Angeles Clippers | 75/1 | 50/1 |
| Miami Heat | 200/1 | 60/1 |
| Atlanta Hawks | 50/1 | 60/1 |
| Charlotte Bobcats | 75/1 | 60/1 |
| New Jersey Nets | 50/1 | 60/1 |
| Milwaukee Bucks | 150/1 | 75/1 |
| Minnesota Timberwolves | 100/1 | 75/1 |
| New York Knicks | 150/1 | 100/1 |
| Sacramento Kings | 75/1 | 125/1 |
| Oklahoma City Thunder | 250/1 | 250/1 |
| Memphis Grizzlies | 250/1 | 300/1 |
The first thing that stands out is how the Cavs and Rockets have moved from 15/1 championship odds to 8/1 due to their respective acquisitions of Mo Williams and Ron Artest. The Sixers also jumped from 40/1 lucky-to-make-the-playoffs odds to 20/1 longshot odds after acquiring Elton Brand.
